I love that the Executive Director of UN Environment Programme took the time, in the freezing cold to interview me in front of my art, when many others don't even bother to credit. So grateful! #TurnOffThePlasticTap #INC4 #GlobalPlasticTreaty

Today marks the last day of negotiations for the United Nations INC-4 conference, where global leaders are reassessing our relationship with plastic and nature while working to advance a Global Plastic Treaty.

🚨 GROUNDBREAKING REPORT 🚨

New Berkeley Lab findings reveal #plastic -production emissions could account for 1/5 of our carbon budget by 2050, underscoring the need for an ambitious #GlobalPlasticTreaty that:
🏭 Halts the buildout
❌ Limits production

We cannot simply rely on the actions of concerned individuals to tackle plastic pollution problems. What’s needed goes beyond reusing plastic water bottles, stopping using single plastic drinking straws and taking reusable bags to the supermarket. #Epr #drs #globalplastictreaty

Say no to single-use plastics! Support the call for a robust Global Plastic Treaty at INC3 to end the cycle of production and consumption. Let's build a world free from plastic waste.

Negotiations on a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution ( #INC4 ) failed to produce a first draft of a #GlobalPlasticTreaty .

Progress was blocked by unsustainable interests – nearly 200 fossil fuel lobbyists attended.

We can't abandon this issue.

The #GlobalPlasticTreaty talks went late into the night, and ended with both progress and a mandate for work to be done between now and #INC5 . WWF's Erin Simon reflects on the conclusion: worldwildlife.org/press-releases…

The presence of a strong lobby from plastic producing companies that is well organised have ensured that the growing production of plastics is not seen as a problem. Instead, they focus on waste management & recycling, thus shirking responsibility. #plastic #globalplastictreaty
